agite

Agite is a Latin word that appears most often as a verb form rather than a standalone noun in classical texts. It is the second-person plural present active imperative of the verb agere, which means to do, drive, act, or perform. As an imperative, agite is used to urge a group to take action, commonly translated as “do it together,” “go on,” or “hurry up and act.”

Grammatical background and usage

Agere belongs to the third conjugation. Its present active imperative forms are age (singular) and agite (plural). The form agite conveys direct command or exhortation addressed to more than one person. In Latin literature and inscriptions, agite is often found in military, political, or communal contexts where speakers urge crowds, soldiers, or citizens to proceed with an action or engage in a task. The nuance can range from energetic encouragement to urgent insistence, depending on context and tone.

Modern and scholarly use

Today, agite is primarily encountered in linguistic, historical, or literary discussions of Latin grammar and style. It may appear in translations, glossaries, or discussions of classical rhetoric to illustrate imperative forms or exhortatory language. It is not a modern technical term or widely used proper noun outside of Latin-language studies.

Notes

If the term was intended in a different field (for example as an acronym, brand name, or title), additional context would help determine a non-Latin meaning. In standard Latin usage, agite remains the plural imperative form meaning “you all act” or “do it.”
